Why was the Constitution created?

Answer 1

So that America should have basic guide lines that all citizens had to follow. No country can be ran with out order.

Any constitution (not just the constitution in the USA) spells out the goal or mission of the country, it's governing values and then states how it will govern the country and which groups of people will carry out the governing tasks. It also lays out the rights of the peoples and government and sets out laws about the governing people and the laws governing the people. It defines how it will defend itself (such as a militia, state and local police). Any time you have a nation, state, county or city or town you need to have guidelines that the people agree to live by. The constitution gives you protection on multiple levels and the guidelines by which law is practiced . The constitution of the USA is so phenomenal that many other countries have borrowed its concepts and principles to create their own. The USA constitution was created to give people the freedoms they did not have when King George and the Parliament ruled over them and it gave them protections they had never had before. It was also a great leveler of the classes by declaring that all people were created equal. Which is why my best friend can be a millionaire and I am only a middle class person ... we consider each one equal with each other no matter our class, age, race, gender, previous nationality or whether we are handicapped or perfectly healthy. Yes, I know it took a long time to get different races and genders citizenship and equal opportunity but what do you expect when for centuries people were divisional in thought and behavior and passed those ideas down to their kids? The concept of being equal takes time to put into reality since inequality reigned so long.

So peoples rights would be expanded and so a new stronger government would form. Also it would make the people vote instead of the states, it made people have equal rights, and it allowed only people with land to vote.

"We, the people of the United States find in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

Answer 3

For a nation to survive, it must have a government. The Constitution of the United States is a government guide. It was created by the delegates to the Constitutional Convention because the old government, the Articles of Confederation, was not working. It was too weak to govern the nation and defend the new nation from attack. The type of government created by the Constitution is a representative democracy, known as a Republic. It also created the system of federalism, a sharing and dividing of powers between the states and the national government.

Answer 4

When the United States became an independent country, we wanted to be different from a Kingdom.

The Articles of Confederation were created to serve the purpose of our current Constitution. However, the articles of confederation were extremely weak and did not provide strong government.

The constitution was written to have a stronger government. A few years after the constitution was established, the Bill of Rights was added to the constitution in the form of the first ten amendments. The bill of rights protected rights of all people.

Answer 5

Coming off of the heels of the American Revolution against the British government, the Founding Fathers were very wary of placing too much power in the hands of a central government. However, as seen from the failure of the government founded by the Articles of Confederation, they acknowledge that a country needed a strong central power in order to survive. So they sought to create a government that had a system of checks and balances, and they divided the government into three branches: the Executive, the Legislative, and the Judicial Branch. Each branch would keep tabs on other branches and ensure that no single branch gained too much power over another. Thus, the government could have strong central power over the country, but no one person would have too much power.
